	Social exchange theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social exchange theory is a social psychological perspective that explains social change and stability as a process of negotiated exchanges between parties.
		Social exchange theory posits that all human relationships are formed by the use of a subjective cost-benefit analysis and the comparison of alternatives.
		Social exchange theory is intimately tied to rational choice theory, and features all of its main assumptions.

	SOCIAL EXCHANGE THEORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Social exchange theory is an evolving conceptual framework that can be utilized to explain individual development within the family context.
		Exchange theory is based on the principle that we enter into relationships in which we can maximize the benefits to us and minimize our costs.
		Scholars pointed out how exchange theory could be applied to a variety of family issues such as mate selection, courtship, sexual bargaining, marital quality, marital power, family violence, and many others at both the micro- and macro-levels.

	Journal of Leisure Research: Social exchange processes in leisure and non-leisure settings: A review and exploratory ...
		This paper examines the potential contributions of social exchange theory to the study of leisure behaviour, and presents the results of an exploratory investigation which utilized social exchange theory to examine resource exchange occurring in both leisure and non-leisure settings.
		The results suggest that social exchange theory provides a promising means to develop further understanding of the social aspects of leisure behaviour and, in turn, assist the continuing formulation of leisure theory through integration with other theoretical approaches.
		Social exchange theory is consistent with the "Stimulus-Organism-Response" alr proach advocated by Iso-Ahola (1989) and also seems to have some common theoretical constructs with the symbolic interactionist perspective adopted by Samdahl (1988, 1992) and Rossman (1989).

		SET argues that people are interested in getting the most out of their valuable resources (time, effort, money).
		SET is based on the basic premise that people communicate with one another in expectation of a profit from that interaction.
		SET has been used to explain why we choose to form relationships with others, why we choose to remain in those relationships, and why we choose to terminate them.

	Some Amendments to Social Exchange Theory: A Sociological Perspective
		As regards the character of social exchange in relation to economic transactions, the former is constituted by activities of purposive actors in the case of a “configuration of interests and resources”, and the latter (a market institution) by interdependent exchange transactions (Coleman, 1986).
		The task of social exchange theory is then to investigate the reciprocal (mainly material) advantages that individuals draw from their exchange transactions on the premise that they engage in and sustain most social, including noneconomic, relations in the rational expectations of such advantages independently of normative or group considerations.
		Admittedly, social exchange theory is deliberately and essentially a market-economic framework for approaching noneconomic phenomena by suggesting, for instance, that group pressure and member conformity are to be regarded as “two sides of a transaction involving the exchange of utility or reward” (Emerson, 1976; 336).

	Social Exchange Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		During the 1970s and 1980s, UW sociologists Richard Emerson and Karen Cook expanded what is called "social exchange theory." Through a series of innovative laboratory experiments and theoretical studies, the researchers developed and refined what has become a major school of thought in contemporary social psychology.
		Social exchange theory is based on a central premise: that the exchange of social and material resources is a fundamental form of human interaction.
		With roots in earlier theories developed in cultural anthropology, neoclassical economics, and psychology, the school of thought on social exchange developed at the UW focused on how interaction patterns are shaped by power relationships between individuals, and the resulting efforts to achieve balance in exchange relations.

	Introducing Communication Theory: Introducing Communication Theory: Social Exchange Theory
		The difficulty with social exchange is that its central concepts—costs and rewards—are not clearly defined.
		When the theory argues that people do what they can to maximize rewards and then also argues that what people do is rewarding behavior, it is difficult, if not impossible, to disentangle the two concepts.
		As long as Social Exchange Theory operates with these types of circular definitions, it will be untestable and, thus, unsatisfactory in terms of that criterion.

	A Synthesis and Formalization of Heiderian Balance and Social Exchange Theory - Questia Online Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Principles of social exchange and Heider's balance theory are combined to arrive at a predictor variable called an "exchange ratio." Two actors and an exchange item are treated as a threepoint structure consisting of three dyads.
		Implied in the studies employing exchange theory is that variation in the exchange distribution between partners is what brings about variation in a dependent variable.
		What task exchange theorists presently face is the identification of a model for determining the extent to which reinforcement of exchange in a relationship is, indeed, mutual (see Emerson 1981).

		The language of Social Exchange theory betrays its assumption that we are all in it for ourselves.
		According to Nye's work with SE theory and family relationships, the strategic concepts of social exchange theory are rewards (the pleasures, satisfactions, and gratifications that come from an intimate relationship) and Costs (the pains, dissatisfactions, missed or frustrated gratifications that are perceived as being part of an intimate relationship).

	Social Exchange Theory- Interpersonal Communication Context
		The Communication Theory of Social Exchange is a theory based on the exchange of rewards and costs to quantify the values of outcomes from different situations for an individual.
		This theory has predictive power in that it predicts that when outcomes are percieved to be greater individuals self disclose more.
		The viability of social exchange rests on the assumption that human beings recognize each other's life situations, notice each other's needs, and in some ways are likely to engage in reciprocity - a condition in which a response is correlated to the worth of the original message.

	Social Exchange Theory
		Social Exchange Theory Introduction Historically, many studies have documented the effects of parenting practices upon child development.
		Some limitations of these past studies include the absence of a unifying framework to tie the body of research together, and a narrow focus on specific determinants in individual studies that possibly ignores the modifying impact of other present variables.
		Using social exchange theory along with social learning concepts, the present study attempts to build a model that identifies the relationship of parenting behavior determinants to each other and also to identify other potentially important concepts that have not been identified in prior research.
